NVIDIA Titan X vs Radeon RX 580 8GB
Running a 2010 12 – Core MacPro with High Sierra OS and seem to be running into some software upgrade issues. Some of the software I need to install requires Mojave or Catalina. Apparently the only way to get to either Mojave or Catalina is to replace my NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB with an AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB. Has anyone out there done this gfx card swap? Any noticeable performance issues?
I really hate to drop to the Radeon card but might be stuck doing so at this point.

What’s the motivation to downgrade? The Nvidia card is obviously superior. Instead of forcing yourself into a lower quality box, is it possible for you to upgrade your system?

My 2010 MacPro is maxed out and if I want to stay on my Mac I’d have to do the Radeon upgrade. Can’t even consider the new MacPro’s, I’d rather put that money into a new vehicle…LOL!
I’ve been researching PC’s since they are much more affordable for my budget at this time. -
I abandoned the Mac platform five years ago and I have no regrets. There’s a ton of online resources available to help you select the components for a custom PC build. Carey Holzman’s YouTube builds, Linus Tech Tips and many others can give you detailed info on how to do a custom PC build.

Thanks Greg. We are a PC based facility but since we are working remotely I’ve been cutting on my Mac home system. I have a killer Puget system at the studio and sometimes remote in to edit but there’s nothing like editing locally. I’ve been looking around at different PC builds and trying to weigh the options of purchasing a new PC or just swapping out my gfx card. No way I can afford or need to buy a new car, I mean a new MacPro!
